the leaf of the moss is one cell thick..
Palisade mesophyll... because that is where the energy from the sun is trapped, therefore the plant needs to have many chloroplasts in order to capture the light energy. The palisade cells are long and wide in order to increase the surface area of contact with the sun..
Palisade cells and the spongey mesophyll. The upper and lower epidermis aren't cells but the are also in a leaf.
The lower epidermal layer of leaf has many holes (stomata) in it and guard cells surrounding these holes. In the roots the epidermis has many root hairs growing out of it or regions of dead root hairs where over time the roots have grown longer and the old root hairs are no longer needed to capture water. In the upper epidermis of a leaf you would see palisade cells just beneath the epidermal layer and a waxy cuticle just above.

50,000,000 Cells are in a full grown plant leaf :)

Spongy Layer
many identical cells
The layer is called the palisade layer
